- the present invention is embodied in an all-terrain baby stroller 10 , as shown in FIG. 1 , having a foldable, tubular metal frame 12 and a transversely extending rear axle assembly 14 with a transverse, non-rotating tubular rear axle 15 .
- Left and right side rear wheels 16 are rotatably mounted to the ends of the rear axle assembly 14 .
- the forward end of the frame 12 has a single front wheel 18 rotatably mounted thereto.
- the frame 12 has no base frame members extending rearwardly from the front wheel 18 to the rear axle assembly 14 as do most conventional all-terrain strollers. Instead, the frame 12 includes left and right side, downwardly and forwardly sloping front wheels frame members or supports 20 , which each extend downward from a corresponding one of left and right side folding assemblies 22 in a converging configuration to the front wheel 18 .
- a forward free-end 20 a of each of the left and right side front wheel supports 20 has a plastic front wheel connector 20 b fixedly attached thereto and a corresponding one of the left and right ends of an axle 18 a of the front wheel 18 removably attached thereto to mount the front wheel to the stroller frame 12 .
- the front wheel supports 20 are interconnected by a foot rest 23 that spans between them toward but rearward of their forward free-ends 20 a and that is fixedly attached to each at a position rearward of the axle 18 a of the front wheel and extending partially over the front wheel 18 .
- the left and right side front wheel supports 20 form a stationary unit with respect to the left and right side folding assemblies 22 upon folding and unfolding of the stroller 10 , as will be described in greater detail below.
- the frame 12 also includes left and right side, upwardly and rearwardly sloping handle frame members or supports 24 , which each extend upward from the corresponding one of the left and right side folding assemblies 22 in a generally parallel configuration to a handle 26 extending between the left and right side handle supports.
- the handle 26 is covered by a foam grip.
- the handle supports 24 are interconnected by the handle 26 that spans between them at their rearwardmost and uppermost extension and that is fixedly attached to each.
- the left and right side handle supports 24 move as a unit with respect to the left and right side folding assemblies 22 upon folding and unfolding of the stroller 10 , as will be described in greater detail below.
- the handle supports 24 may each be provided with a handle portion at the upper end thereof such as used with umbrella style strollers.
- the left and right side handle supports 24 and the handle 26 are formed as an integral unit by bending a single length of aluminum tube.
- the left and right side handle supports 24 are movable relative to the left and right side front wheel supports 20 for folding of the stroller 10 and do not together form an integrated rigid upper frame.
- the frame 12 also includes left and right side, downwardly and rearwardly sloping rear wheel frame members or supports 30 , which each extend downward from the corresponding one of the left and right side folding assemblies 22 in a generally parallel configuration to the rear axle assembly 14 .
- a rearward free-end 30 a of each of the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 is fixedly attached to the tubular rear axle 15 toward a corresponding one of the left and right ends of the tubular rear axle 15 .
- the rear wheel supports 30 are interconnected by the rear axle assembly 14 that spans between them at the rearward free-ends 30 a thereof.
- a cross-frame member 31 with a U-shape extends between the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 .
- the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 move as a unit with respect to the left and right folding assemblies 22 for folding and unfolding of the stroller 10 , as will be described in greater detail below.
- the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 are also movable relative to the left and right side front wheel supports 20 and the left and right side handle supports 24 for folding of the stroller 10 .
- the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 and the rear axle assembly 14 connected thereto do not form a part of a base frame extending between the rear and front wheels 16 and 18 .
- Much of the structural strength of the stroller 10 and the interconnection of the front wheel supports 20 , the handle supports 24 , and the rear wheel supports 30 are provided by the centrally positioned left and right side folding assemblies 22 , and not by a base frame.
- the left and right side front wheel supports 20 , the left and right side handle supports 24 , and the left and right side rear wheel supports 30 are made from aluminum tube. Suitable alternative materials may be used.
- the left and right outward ends of the tubular rear axle 15 are open and internally threaded to receive a threaded stub axle 32 forming a part of the corresponding one of the left and right rear wheels 16 .
- a lock nut (not shown) when tightened against the face of the stub axle 32 locks the stub axle against loosening during usage of the stroller 10 .
- Alternative constructions may be used to fixedly or removably attach the rear wheels 16 to the tubular rear axle 15 , and any suitable alternative manner of mounting the rear wheels 16 to the real wheel supports 30 may be used.
- the frame 12 of the stroller 10 is shown in FIG. 1 in the fully unfolded state with a fabric seat 33 a , and a fabric leg support and guard 33 b .
- the seat 33 a is suspended from the left and right side handle supports 24

- the frame 12 is shown in FIG. 2 without the seat 33 a and the leg guard 33 b.
- Each of the left and right rear wheel supports 30 supports an inwardly extending lever 34 , which has a predominantly vertical orientation, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the frame 12 of the stroller 10 is locked in the fully unfolded position.
- each of the levers 34 is pulled upward and inward as depicted by arrows R 1 to thereby put the left and right side folding assemblies 22 in an unlocked state as further explained below.
- a strap (not shown) may be connected by its ends to the levers 34 to facilitate movement of both levers at the same time.
- the left and right handle supports 24 along with the handle 26 , and the left and right front wheel support 20 , along with the front wheel 18 , can be rotated about the left and right folding assemblies, respectively, toward the left and right rear wheel supports 30 , respectively, as depicted by arrows R 2 shown in FIG. 4 .
- the folding assemblies 22 allow a greater rotation angle for the handle supports 24 (greater than 90°) than for the front wheel supports 20 (less than 90°).
- the front wheel supports 20 move in geared coordination with movement of the handle supports 24 .
- the front wheel supports 20 are rotated clockwise about the folding assemblies 22 as viewed in FIG. 4
- the handle supports 24 are also rotated counterclockwise about the folding assemblies as viewed in FIG. 4
- the frame 12 is shown in a partially folded state in FIG. 5 .
- both the front wheel supports 20 and the handle supports 24 have been rotated in geared coordination with each other about the folding assemblies 22 to be positioned in close proximity to the rear wheel supports 30 as shown in FIG. 6 . To do so the front wheel 18 is removed.
- the right side folding assembly 22 is shown in exploded view in FIG. 7 and includes a laterally outward positioned forward rotatable member 35 ′ and a laterally inward rearward rotatable member 35 ′′, each with a flat face facing toward the other.
- the forward rotatable member 35 ′ has a plate or disk 36 ′ with a central plate portion having a central aperture 37 ′.
- the forward rotatable member 35 ′ also includes a notch 38 ′, a radially outward internal gear 39 ′ in an elongated aperture 41 ′, and an arm 40 ′.
- the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′ has a plate or disk 36 ′′ with a central plate portion having a central aperture 37 ′′.
- the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′ also includes a notch 38 ′′, a radially inward internal gear 39 ′′ in an elongated aperture 41 ′′, and an arm 40 ′′.
- the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ and the arms 40 ′ and 40 ′′ are depicted as being formed as part of a single flat plate piece; however, in other implementations the disks and arms are individual pieces that are fixedly attached together.
- the inside wall of each half of the housing 42 has a recess 42 a sized and shaped such that when the two halves of the housing are positioned together, the recesses form a cavity to receive an upper free-end portion 30 b of the corresponding rear wheel support 30 therein and an upper free-end portion of the cross-frame member 31 .
- a bolt extends through an aperture 42 f in each half of the housing 42 and through an aperture 30 c in the upper free-end portion 30 b of the rear wheel support 30 and an aperture of the upper free-end portion of the cross-frame member 31 to securely clamp the rear wheel support and the cross-frame member between the inner and outer halves of the housing.
- the central apertures 37 ′ and 37 ′′ of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′, respectively, are sized to receive a bushing 43 therethrough having a length longer than the cumulative thickness of the two disks.
- the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ are rotatably mounted on the bushing for rotation within the housing 42 in parallel rotation planes about an axis of rotation transverse to the plane of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′.
- the end portions of the bushing extending beyond the central apertures 37 ′ and 37 ′′ each have a circumferential groove 43 a to receive a C-clip 43 b to retain the bushing 43 in place.
- the bushing 43 also extends through a washer 43 d positioned between the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ of the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ to serve as a spacer and bearing surface for rotational movement of the rotatable members about the bushing 43 .
- Each of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ has a flat face in face-to-face juxtaposition with the flat face of the other disk with the washer 43 d positioned therebetween.
- the end portions of the bushing 43 extending beyond the C-clip 43 b are each positioned in and retained by a retaining cup 42 b formed by the inside wall of a correspondingly positioned one of the inner and outer halves of the housing 42 .
- Each of the inner and outer halves of the housing 42 has an aperture 42 c in communication with the corresponding retaining cups 42 b .
- the bushing 43 has a longitudinally extending central aperture 43 c aligned with apertures 43 b of inner and outer halves of the housing 42 , and sized to receive a bolt 45 therethrough that extends fully through the inner and outer halves of the housing.
- a nut 45 a is threaded onto a threaded end portion of the bolt 45 to clamp the inner and outer halves of the housing 42 of the folding assembly 22 securely together with the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ freely rotatable on the bushing 43 and being spaced apart by the washer 43 d , and with the arm 40 ′ extending forwardly through a forward portion of a slot 42 e in the housing and the arm 40 ′′ extending rearwardly through a rearward portion of the housing slot.
- the arms 40 ′ and 40 ′′ are flat elongated plates.
- the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ of the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ have their flat faces in face-to-face juxtaposition.
- This provides laterally adjacent parallel plates with elongated apertures 41 ′ and 41 ′′, each having the gear teeth of a corresponding one of the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ formed along an edge portion of the corresponding one of the elongated apertures 41 ′ and 41 ′′.
- the gear teeth of the radially outward gear 39 ′ of the disk 36 ′ are formed along the radially outward edge of the elongated aperture 41 ′, and the gear teeth of the radially inward gear 39 ′′ of the disk 36 ′′ are formed along the radially inward edge of the elongated aperture 41 ′′.
- the planar disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ are arranged in spaced apart parallel planes, and the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ are similarly arranged in spaced apart parallel planes and not in a common plane or in direct engagement with each other.
- the elongated apertures 41 ′ and 41 ′′ are positioned on the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ so as to be at least in part overlapping during the rotation of the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ between the folded and unfolded states of the stroller 10 .
- a pinion gear 44 is positioned within the elongated apertures 41 ′ and 41 ′′ in simultaneous geared engagement with both the radially outward gear 39 ′ of the forward rotatable member 35 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′.
- the pinion gear 44 is positioned to extend through and beyond each of the elongated apertures 41 ′ and 41 ′′ of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ at a position where the elongated apertures overlap during folding and unfolding of the stroller 10 , and span fully between the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ in simultaneous geared engagement with both of the gears.
- the pinion gear 44 transmits the driving rotational force between the front wheel supports 20 and the handle supports 24 which causes one to rotate in response to rotation of the other.
- the pinion gear 44 is rotatably mounted on a pin 44 a that has each of its end portions extending beyond the pinion gear 44 positioned in the aperture of a flat bushing 44 b and rotatably retained by the flat bushing.
- Each of the flat bushings 44 b is positioned in and retained by a retaining cup 44 c formed by the inside wall of a correspondingly positioned one of the inner and outer halves of the housing 42 .
- the pinion gear 44 is supported by the housing 42 , which is rigidly attached to the corresponding one of the rear wheel supports 30 for movement therewith, of course, being rotatable about the axis of the pin 44 a .
- the pinion gear 44 is rotatable about an axis of rotation transverse to the plane of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′, and parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′.
- the pinion gear 44 engages both the radially outward gear 39 ′ of the forward rotatable member 35 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′. Consequently, through the pinion gear 44 , the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ are mutually drivingly engaged with each other so that if either is rotated, the rotational force is transmitted through the pinion gear to the other to cause the other to also rotate about the bushing 43 . As such, if the front wheel supports 20 or the handle supports 24 are rotated relative to the rear wheel supports 30 , the other of the front wheel supports and the handle supports is driven to rotate as well.
- the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ have the same pitch since the pinion gear 44 engages both, but each has a larger pitch diameter than the pinion gear.
- the radially inward gear 39 ′′ have a smaller radius of curvature or pitch diameter than the radially outward gear 39 ′, thus the resulting rotational movement of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′ will be greater than the rotational movement of the forward rotatable member 35 ′.
- the pinion gear 44 is rotated, the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′ and hence the handle support 24 attached thereto will rotate more than the forward rotatable member 35 ′′ and hence the front wheel support 20 attached thereto.
- the pitch diameter for each of the radially outward gear 39 ′ of the forward rotatable member 35 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′, and the pitch diameter of the pinion gear 44 are selected to produce the desired ratio of rotational movement for the forward and rearward rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ to fold the stroller 10 into a compact form with the handle supports 24 and the front wheel supports 20 nested tightly against the rear wheel supports 30 .
- the ability to select different pitch diameters for the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ is helpful, even a greater degree of design flexibility may be desirable.
- a pinion gear 44 ′ is shown having first and second pinion gear portions 44 x and 44 y , with the first pinion gear portion having a first pitch, a first pitch diameter and a first number of gear teeth, and the second pinion gear portion having a different second pitch, a second pitch diameter and a different second number of gear teeth.
- the first and second pinion gear portions 44 x and 44 y are made as a single part and rotate together as a unit in coaxial arrangement on the pin 44 a , but are essentially two pinion gears, each with its own gear parameters.
- the first pinion gear portion 44 x is positioned to engage the radially outward gear 39 ′ and has a pitch corresponding thereto and five gear teeth
- the second pinion gear portion 44 y is positioned to engage the radially inward gear 39 ′′ and has a pitch corresponding thereto and four gear teeth.
- the first and second pinion gear portions 44 x and 44 y may have the same or different pitch diameters.
- the radially outward and inward gears 39 ′ and 39 ′′ and the first and second pinion gear portions 44 x and 44 y that engage them, respectively, may be designed with gear parameters to produce a wider range of differing amounts of rotational movement of the forward and rearward rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ when folding and unfolding the stroller 10 .
- the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the first pinion gear portion 44 x pair can be designed with first gear parameters to produce a first rotational movement of the forward rotatable member 35 ′
- the radially inward gear 39 ′′ and the second pinion gear portion 44 y pair can be designed with different second gear parameters to produce a different second rotational movement of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′, with independence in the first and second gear parameters selected.
- the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the first pinion gear portion 44 x pair and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ and the second pinion gear portion 44 y pair can be designed essentially independent of the other to produce a desired result, such as a desired ratio of rotational movement of the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′, and hence the desired ratio of rotational movement of the forward and rearward rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ when folding and unfolding the stroller 10 .
- this permits design of the folding assemblies 22 with more control over the amount of movement of both the handle supports 24 and the front wheel supports 20 relative to the rear wheel supports 30 resulting during folding of the stroller 10 and hence allows folding into a compact form where the handle supports and the front wheel supports can be moved to nest tightly against the rear wheel supports.
- a pinion gear 44 ′′ is shown having first and second pinion gears 44 xx and 44 yy made as separate parts but fixedly attached together for rotation together as a unit on the pin 44 a , such as by welding, an insertion pin or some other manner.
- the first and second pinion gears 44 xx and 44 yy may be keyed to the pin 44 a so long as the pin is free to rotate.
- the first pinion gear 44 xx has a first pitch, a first pitch diameter and a first number of gear teeth (shown as five in this embodiment), and the second pinion gear 44 yy has a different second pitch, a second pitch diameter and a different second number of gear teeth (shown as four in this embodiment).
- the first pinion gear 44 xx is positioned to engage the radially outward gear 39 ′, and the second pinion gear 44 yy is positioned to engage the radially inward gear 39 ′′.
- the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the first pinion gear 44 xx pair and the radially inward gear 39 ′′ and the second pinion gear 44 yy pair can be designed with gear parameters essentially independent of the other to providing greater flexibility in designing the folding assemblies 22 to produce a desired ratio of rotational movement of the radially outward gear 39 ′ and the radially inward gear 39 ′′, and hence the desired ratio of rotational movement of the forward and rearward rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ when folding and unfolding the stroller 10 .
- the range of movement is limited by stops 51 ′ and 51 ′′ attached to the perimeter portion of the forward and rearward rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′, respectively.
- Each of the stops 51 ′ and 51 ′′ extends laterally toward the adjacent rotatable member and radially outward of the perimeter of the adjacent rotatable member.
- the stops 51 ′ and 51 ′′ are attached to the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ at positions along the perimeter of the rotatable member to which attached such that when the rotatable members are rotated to place the folding assemblies 22 in the fully unfolded state, as shown in FIG. 8 , the stops 51 ′ and 51 ′′ are in engagement and prevent further rotational movement of the rotatable members in that rotational direction.
- the stops 51 ′ and 51 ′′ are positioned to allow a rotation angle for the handle supports 24 of about 108° and for the front wheel supports 20 of about 70°.
- front wheel supports 20 and the handle supports 24 are attached to the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ of the left and right side folding assemblies 22 (and the rear wheel supports 30 fixedly attached to the housing 42 )
- other implementations may have the rear wheel supports 30 and the handle supports 24 attached to the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ of the folding assemblies 22 (and the front wheel supports 20 fixedly attached to the housing 42 ) such that they rotate to fold about the front wheel supports.
- the rear wheel supports 30 and the front wheel supports 20 may be attached to the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ of the folding assemblies 22 (and the handle supports 24 fixedly attached to the housing 42 ) such that they rotate to fold about the handle supports.
- each folding assembly has a releasable locking mechanism with a slidably mounted head 50 having a locking lug 52 .
- a spring 54 applies a bias force to the head 50 to maintain the locking lug 52 in contact with a smooth, rounded perimeter portion of each of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ of the folding assembly as the rotatable members are rotated close to the stroller fully unfolded state.
- the notches 38 ′ and 38 ′′ of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ are positioned along a reinforced perimeter portion of the disks in a location where when the stroller 10 reaches the fully unfolded state, the notches are in alignment and the spring 54 will drive the head 50 forward to position the locking lug 52 in both notches, and hence prevent rotation of the disks toward the folded state.
- the portion of the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ around the notches 38 ′ and 38 ′′ has increased thickness for added strength.
- the head 50 is slidably mounted in the housing 42 at a position above the recess 42 a receiving the upper free-end portion 30 b of the rear wheel support 30 .
- the upper end of the spring 54 engages the head 50 and the lower end engages a spring support 56 positioned inside the upper free-end portion 30 b of the rear wheel support 30 .
- the lever 34 for the folding assembly 22 is pivotally mounted to the rear wheel support 30 and has a nose portion extending through an aperture in the head 50 and in engagement with a pin within the head so that when the lever 34 is pulled upward and inward as depicted by the arrows R 1 in FIG.
- the head 50 is moved downward, away from the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′, thereby causing the locking lug 52 to be retracted from the notches 38 ′ and 38 ′′ and permitting the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ to rotate toward the fully folded state shown in FIG. 6 in a generally clam shell movement to position the handle supports 24 and the front wheel supports 20 nested tightly against the rear wheel supports 30 .
- the folding assembly 22 is shown in FIG. 9 between the unfolded and folded states with the locking lug 52 of the head 50 retracted from the notch 38 ′ and 38 ′′.
- the force is not so great as to require undue force to be applied to the lever 34 by the user to retract locking lug from the notches when the folding assembly is to be folded.
- Each of the left and right side folding assemblies 22 has the corresponding left or right front wheel support 20 bolted onto the arm 40 ′ of the forward rotatable member 35 ′ and the corresponding left or right handle support 24 bolted onto the arm 40 ′′ of the rearward rotatable member 35 ′′.
- rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ were depicted as including the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′, in other implementations the rotatable members 35 ′ and 35 ′′ may have other shapes.
- FIG. 15 Another embodiment of an all-terrain baby stroller 10 ′ is shown in FIG. 15 .
- This embodiment has the basic same design as the stroller 10 , but is designed to carry two children is side by side arrangement.
- the frame 12 of the stroller 10 ′ in addition to having the left and right side frame supports 24 , has a center frame support 24 ′ which extends upward from a center folding assembly 22 ′ (shown in FIG. 14 ) of the same construction as the previously described folding assemblies 22 , except the center folding assembly 22 ′ has left and right side outwardly extending levers 34 . Either of the levers for the center folding assembly 22 ′ may be pulled upward and outward to place the center folding assembly 22 ′ in an unlocked state.
- each lever 34 for the center folding assembly 22 ′ is pivotally mounted to a rear wheel support 30 ′ and has a nose portion extending through an aperture in the head 50 of the center folding assembly 22 ′, although from opposite sides thereof. Movement of either lever 34 when pulled upward and outward causes the head 50 of the center folding assembly 22 ′ to moved downward, away from the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ of the center folding assembly 22 ′, thereby causing the locking lug 52 to be retracted from the notches 38 ′ and 38 ′′ and permitting the disks 36 ′ and 36 ′′ to rotate toward the fully folded state.
- a strap may be connected by its ends to the lever 34 of the left side folding assembly 22 and to the left side lever 34 of the center folding assembly 22 ′, and another strap (not shown) may be connected by its ends to the lever 34 of the right side folding assembly 22 and to the right side lever 34 of the center folding assembly 22 ′ to facilitate movement of both levers to which the strap is connected at the same time.
